STEM Learning Hub
Designed to inspire and empower generations of young women in North Queensland, the STEM Learning Hub building project marks the conclusion of Stage 2 of the College's Master Plan. Expertly designed by m3architecture and constructed by well-renowned Hutchinson Builders, this building provides Marine Science, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, and Technology labs, along with contemporary general learning spaces and an arts courtyard. "We're proud to deliver this incredible facility that connects old and new for students to thrive" says Principal, Amber Hauff.
